Had my tummy tuck last Monday thing called Dog ears???

 I had my tummy tuck last Monday. i was told and was reading on something called dog ears. Wondering when they get fixed after this surgery. mine are big well i think they are big does anyone know what i am talking about? 

and when they get fixed how do they fix them and is it  out patient surgery? 

I had some dog ears on my incision - and while they seemed really big at first they ended up going away probably about 1 month or so out.  My PS said that if they didnt it was a procedure he could do in his office with a little local anesthesia -- basically just "tucks" them in.  Don't fret about it until you are more healed and the swelling goes away -- and trust me, the swelling lasts a lot longer than you think.  Everytime I thought I was "done" i shrunk a little bit more.

I had my tummy tuck last May 2010. My tummy is super flat but the sides (Love Handles) where super big still. So this Friday I will be going in to have them removed and also lipo, to make sure everything is gone. it's out patient  and I can come back to work on Wednesday but taking the whole week.

I'm alos having it done at a surgery center and not the hospital this time. Way cheaper the doc told me. Good Luck on your tummy.

I am getting ready to set up an appt to have my dog ears removed. It is going to be done as an out patient as well. Just using a local. I had my tt in February.

Good Luck with yours!!!

Congrats on your surgery!  I have heard of "dog ears" but I guess I don't have them cause I really don't have a clue what they look like!

Best of luck to you and continued good healing :)
